Line 64:
* 12AngryMen - [[Rogue Juror]]
* ''[[The Kid]]'' - First film [[Dramedy]].
* ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' was the first full-length animated film.
* ''[[Bringing Up Baby]]'' - [[Dinosaur Doggie Bone]].
Line 109:
* ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]''—among the first of many American sitcoms to feature all of the following things: on location production, lack of a laugh track and the single camera setup. The fact that it was a children's show on a [[Nickelodeon|cable network]] meant that most were unaware of this new style of sitcom until ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]'' (the [[Trope Codifier]]) helped popularize it in the late 1990's.
** ''Pete & Pete'' is more or less tied as the Trope Maker with ''[[The Larry Sanders Show]]'', which started around the same time. However, since ''Larry'' was not only broadcast on a cable channel but [[HBO|one you had to pay extra for]], that meant that ''fewer'' people outside of its small cult audience were likely aware of the shared innovations of ''Sanders''.
** You're probably asking yourself "but what about ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]''?", well, [[Ur Example|that's a different trope]] altogether (and it also drastically predates all other shows with this style by ''decades'', it being very ahead of its time in that respect).
* ''[[wikipedia:An American Family|An American Family]]''—The first contemporary [[Reality TV]] program.
* ''[[Bewitched]]'' was said to have inspired the first [[Magical Girl]] anime.
Line 172:
* ''[[Kriegspiel]]'' was the first war game, created by a German nobleman to train his generals in military strategy. The name means "wargame."
* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]''—In fact, many video game ideas ultimately came from here, as ''Ultima'' and ''Rogue'' drew heavily from D&D and went on to influence every computer/video RPG that came later.
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'' was the first major horror RPG, and is the acknowledged Trope Maker of the [[Sanity Meter]], a variation of which can be found in almost all horror RPGs that followed it (e.g. Humanity in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'', the Madness Meters of ''[[Unknown Armies]]'', etc, etc). As with ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', this aspect is often copied in video games as well as tabletops.
* It's a rare [[Card Games|collectible card game]] that owes nothing at all to ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]''. It could be argued that there's no such thing, since Richard Garfield essentially invented the ''idea'' of a game with collectible pieces.
